Going For My Lungs Lyrics

You held me closer than you ever have before
And it's all that I can do to try to be everything you need
I'm sorry if it seems that I have let you down
I thought that I was looking out for us

In the quietness of mind we both know it's true
I'm going for my lungs these days
I'm going for it now

On nights like these I wish I'd never left your side
You are beautiful dear (beautiful dear) beautiful tonight
I'm sorry if it seems that I have let you down
I thought that I was looking out for us

In the quietness of mind we both know it's true
I'm going for my lungs these days
I'm going for it now (going for it now)

Get out of my dreams, get into my arms
I miss that smile on your face (get out of my dreams)
I miss that smile on your face (get into my arms)
I miss that smile on your face (get out of my dreams)
I miss that smile on your face (get into my arms)

I am with you now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
